Abstract
Water relations of two rapidly expanding species in deforested localities, Calamagrostis epigeios and Calamagrostis arundinacea, were compared. After short- or long-term water stress, water content and specific leaf area were more reduced in C. epigeios than in C. arundinacea. After short-term stress, osmotic potential was similar in both species, but after long-term stress, it was much lower in C. epigeios plants. Abscisic acid and proline contents were higher in stressed plants of C. epigeios than in those of C. arundinacea.
